Apparently most of our corporate news-media — which is virtually all of the mainstream news-media, the sole exception being CBC — are either complicit in or support Israel’s campaign of mass suffering and slaughter in Gaza.
Their coverage of the Palestine-Israel conflict — present and past, but seemingly now more than ever — is to me almost unprecedented. Most have lost so much of their independence and humanity.
Any genuine journalist with integrity would tender their resignation and publicly proclaim they can no longer help propagate their employer’s corrupted product, be it from the Right or Left.
The most journalistically, and perhaps even morally, compromised news-media I’ve read is Canada’s National Post newspaper. You would really have to read it to believe it, especially since the Oct.7 Hamas attack on Israel.
It epitomizes an extreme example of an echo chamber promoting unconditional support for the Israeli state, including its very-long-practiced cruelty towards the Palestinian people. And I mean unconditional support. It’s eerily mind-blowing how far downhill it has all gone.
More progressive outlets like Canada’s other national newspaper, The Globe and Mail — progressive in regards to essentially following “woke” ideology — can be more deceitful with its essentially pro-Israel coverage and op/ed writing since 10/7. There seems to have been an attempt at appearing objective on this topic when it actually is not. …
Some people may feel that a self-compromised or corrupt news media is better than no news media at all, but I do not.
